Can we get more maps. I'm already tired of the ones we have, maybe it's a sign that I am playing too much though.

Shieldman is Reinhardt.
Bastion might get people mad at you but if you can play him well they shouldn't mind.
All of the others are pretty good in the meta currently, D.Va got nerfed a bit but she can still do some work.
The others are all solid safe picks currently.
Bolded ones are top picks. Dva just got a heavy nerf but was stupidly good so have to wait and see on them. Bastion is basically kills people new to the game since they don't know how to deal with him yet. Mercy is trash.
That's a good way to play but remember not to sacrifice your own enjoyment for other people, especially in Quick Play or Arcade. Competitive is a bit different but it feels different when you're actively trying to not lose.
Between Ana, Soldier, and Rein (shield guy) you will be pivotal to your team in 99% of situations.
Ana is very difficult to learn as she can have huge tilts to the flow of the game depending on how her abilities are used. The only problem is when these abilities should be utilized and how can be confusing if you're new to the game.
Also, her escape abilities are difficult to land.

I think Mei is awesome for attacking or defending chokepoint heavy maps, get blizzard up and it clears the way.

leave her alone
Since I had gotten Zen's new legendary skin from the free loot box, the calling to try him more has been more apparent.Next time I get on, I should change the right click to be either heal or discord through, cause that will likely feel a bit better
Don't underestimate his charged shot though.
nah, she still too strong
Oasis just go released. Don't expect a new map for another two months or so.

Still tryna figure out how you can hook a Zarya and she has a bubble around her.

shhhhhhhhhhhhh
What if I want to start playing Tracer in competitive? Any good guides or videos to getting started?
Obviously I will grind hours in quick play for what it's worth.
You can't.
Must have expired, or had it's damaged broken by some other source.

It feels pretty good when you get a team kill as Ana because of a nano-boosted soldier ult.

No like.
I hooked a zarya and at the same moment her shield went up so i brang her forward with her shield still on around her.

this game does weird things often
like sombra can still take damage from her og location after translocating sometimes
i think their servers just put both things out if they happen at the same time rather than deciding what to prioritise
Mercy is okay but looked down upon because ana is a stronger healer. But feel free to use her because she is still very helpful. She is outclassed by ana at top levels, but for most people she's effective.
Ana is the strongest healer in the game but also has the biggest skill range. Position yourself properly, use your skills to devastating effectiveness, and have excellent aim? You can work wonders. But you're useless if you can't land your shots on the targets that need them.
Soldier is good. Very self sufficient and good at everything.
DVa is good but recently nerfed. Still useful in the right situations.
Reinhardt is great.
Bastion is good against people who don't know how to deal with him, but quickly gets taken out by anyone who does.
Oh. Probably client server delay on both sides then.
She activated her shield before your hook was supposed to connect, but your input reached the server first so it approximated the two.
Word we can work something out. I mostly play when the kids are asleep. Better games.
I love having Discord on right click. I put alt-fire on one of the thumb mouse buttons, so I can still use it, but I don't use that anywhere even close to as often as Discord.Since I had gotten Zen's new legendary skin from the free loot box, the calling to try him more has been more apparent.
Numbani is the hardest Hybrid by far though. If an attacking team doesnt know wtf their doing it's heavily tilt in defense's favor imo.
I've reported the lack of rebalancing or indeed proper MMR matchmaking in arcade as a bug. Let's see what happens!

What's the best way to get out of the plat/gold rut? I keep bouncing between gold and low plat between the past two seasons.
I feel like my personal skill level has actually increased a lot, my hit scan aim especially, but I'm not really budging. In fact I'm at a season 2/3 low at the moment (2190).
I suspect a lot may just be like a need to get large groups together. I usually have me and one other person and it can really feel like a teammate lottery at times.
How easy is it to get a group together in the GAF discord group on any given evening?

Play Pharah, people at that rank can't hit her~
I never knew that about the game re balancing if you lose 3 in a row.
Since I had gotten Zen's new legendary skin from the free loot box, the calling to try him more has been more apparent.
I was just thinking the other day that I need to throw discord orb onto a mouse button. Maybe one of the side ones. It's too annoying to have to take a finger off of WASD to mash E, especially when people are dying rapidly and the orb keeps getting returned.
Yeah just did a couple rounds with discord on right click, and it does feel better already.

I do! Mcree, Pharah, and Reinhart are my go-tos that I do really well with.

Fixed.
Want to tilt an entire team?
Play Pharah & Mei or Pharah & Genji.
If the DPS aims up, Mei or Genji dive them.
If they aim at the Mei / Genji, Pharah takes them out.
Also toss in a Winston to keep the supports off the DPS and the tanks will be too slow to do much of anything.
I got Roadhog and Zen's legendary skins in one loot box as well as legendary money :-o I've never even got two legendaries in one box before. I can afford to buy Rein's and Mei's and Ana's if I don't drop them before the event ends. I already got Mei, D'va, Bastion, Junkrat, Winston and Sym's and I don't really like the rest.
Does the event end next Monday?

Man, I can't deal with Pharah for shit.
Even as Soldier I can't hit her.

the funniest is to kill Pharah as Sombra cause ppl will fly up when they're too low on health so that lil bit of damage you do is enough.

The main issue with Pharah is she can easily stay out of most DPS' effective range, especially when you take into account stage geometry.
If she's within the DPS effective range it's a bit easier to kill her, but you basically have to wait for her to come to you.
I had a match on Ilios once where I never saw her, let alone had a clear shot at her.
Add a Mercy to that to soak up shots and keep her healed, and it's a nightmare.
Bastion changes are coming to the PTR soon-ish.
Definitely liked how they decided to solidify it's purpose as a tank buster.

It's certainly unsettling, as I otherwise love her new Legendary from this event.
Hopefully, this updated change to her in-game skeleton will make it that Mei won't have these problems in the future. I still want a skin with her blue tank top. :>
Noooooo

It sounds like he will be pain in the ass again.
I thought they are only doing small buffs/nerfs now? Nothing major... lol
Just delete him, fixed.
Every once in a while you'll run into a team that is competent with Bastion/Torb/Symm on a map like Hanamura, and you realize just how awful the game would be if these characters became constant picks.
Well, with One Hero Limit being a thing for both QP & Comp, it's only fair to go & readjust the heroes that were rebalanced around the original limit.
Besides, having another hero that can effectively take out Pharah is alright in my book.
